Relative Velocity

It is a measurement of an object with regards to the other object which is moving or stable or stationary. For example, if we are traveling in a bus and the bus is moving at speed of 50km/hr, then our speed is according to the nearby passenger on the bus is zero. According to them, we are not moving. But if one person standing on the ground or road observes us from outside of the bus, according to him we are moving at a speed of 50km/hr and the bus is also moving at a speed of 50km/hr. Now, the motion is recognized by the observer, it depends on a frame of reference or observer. This is motion called relative motion.

One engine gives the spacecraft an acceleration in the +x direction of ax = 2.96 m/s2, while the other gives it an acceleration in the +ydirection of ay = 8.08 m/s2. At the end of the firing, what is a) vx and b) vy?
A projectile is fired from the origin (at y = 0 m) as shown in the figure. The initial velocity components are V0x = 280 m/s and V0y = 44 m/s. The projectile reaches maximum height at point P, then it falls and strikes the ground at point Q. In the figure, the y-component of the acceleration of the shell at point P is closest to: +5 m/s2 -5 m/s2 +10 m/s2 -10 m/s2 zero

A spacecraft starts from rest, and makes a journey to a destination 447000 km from its starting point. It does so by accelerating at a constant rate of 9.82 m/s^2 up to the midpoint of the journey, and then decelerates at the same constant rate of 9.82 m/s^2 for the second half of the journey, ending at rest. How long did the entire journey take?
A particle moves down a horizontal route that begins 5 feet to the right of a specific point P with an initial velocity of 4 feet per second.
